re: Pelicans Talk : Free Agency 2015/2016 - Who do we target?

Too much is unknown at this time. There will be some seemingly crazy deals made because the cap will jump 40% in 2016. How many guys are going to press for 1 year deals and how will that hold up the market? Will teams be eager to sign 1 year rental deals giving them cap space in 2016, or will they be reluctant because it's a 1 year rental? Does a guy like Luol Deng opt out and add another big money SF to the market pushing someone into MLE territory that wouldn't have otherwise been available to us?

I think the biggest things are who is available with the MLE, and what are our expectations for Anderson becoming himself again? With the Jrue situation I think it'd be premature to move any of our guards.

If you could give me DeMarre Carroll for the MLE and bring everyone back but Jimmer, I'd call that a pretty successful offseason.
